All About Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive medical framework with a history spanning over 2000 years, employed for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ailments.
Acupuncture is a safe, precise and scientific treatment which utilises fine needles applied to specific parts of the body called acupuncture points.
According to TCM, acupuncture stimulates the flow of Qi (pronounced chi) which is defined in Chinese medicine as a life force that circulates through channels in the body called meridians.
Other acupuncture tools such as gua sha and heat therapy may also be utilised during a treatment by your acupuncturist.
After each acupuncture treatment, you will walk away feeling relaxed, supported and listened to. Acupuncture is part of a holistic system of mind-body medicine, so your acupuncturist will work with you to suggest simple tweaks to your diet and/or lifestyle between treatments.
